6/1/11 Gross: +324 Shares: 13,800 Net: +248 ---------------------------- Had a fantastic day and then gave wayyyy too much back in the last 20 minutes. I was over +400 gross. I played the ANR imbalance, loaded short. The price went against me a bit too far. Covered my position...

5/31/11 Gross: -154 Shares: 8200 Net: -199 Month Gross: -173 Month Net: -574 ---------------------- Swweeeeet way to end the month. Market is absolutely dead right now, guess I'll go home early. Once again dabbled in the morning. Lost money with a NVDA long near the...

5/26/11 Gross: -120 Shares: 8800 Net: -168 ---------------------------- Yet another sloppy trading day for ksmetana. Being away from the market, and only trading 3 days a week really has me out of practice. I get pounded in the morning and "remember" what I'm supposed to be doing...

5/24/11 Gross: +62 Shares: 7400 Net: +21 ---------------------------- Started off the day with a few losing trades. Then had a few winners. My gross P&L high was only $89. Definitely COULD have had a better day. I did not want to come in and get huge in anything, as I don't have...

I will make a return to trading on Tuesday... I was incredibly upset with my performance in my last session. I felt like a loose cannon, giving no respect to my typical risk management techniques. Going to ramp up selectivity. All it takes is one good trade to make your day, even week...

No I haven't gone in since my last post. Taking some time to myself, I'll return next week

5/17/11 Gross: -262 Shares: 6600 Net: -298 May: Gross: +38 Net: -229 --------------------------------- An absolutely disgusting morning. More huge moves against me. Did not set stops. I can't believe I these things run as far as they did. I am trading with no edge. I...

5/12/11 Gross: +104 Shares: 5800 Net: +72 ------------------------------------ 1. Shorted OAS this morning. 300 just above 26. Covered in the mid 60s. I figured some support could exist near the 200 day. I covered and kept watching it to see if it could make a new low after...

5/10/11 Gross: -305 Shares: 6716 Net: -342 --------------------------------- First day since I began trading where I reached my max set daily stop loss. Everything I touched stopped me out. Trades that began to work snapped back hard. I was in the money nicely on several trades...

5/6/11 Gross: +192 Shares: 7600 Net: +150 -------------------------- I missed too much action today. There was all sorts of volatility in the markets. I didn't pull the trigger. Definitely had hesitation problems today. After over-trading on Wednesday, I focused on selectivity...

5/4/11 Gross: - 189 Shares: 11800 Net: -254 ------------------------ Obviously not a good day for me. Overtraded, resorted to low quality garbage. Lots of feelers. Lots of bad habits making a return. I blame that on my lack of sleep (only got 3.5 hours last night). I was due for a down...

Well I wasn't early to it. I shorted after it popped a point. There was still a heavy imbalance, I knew there was more downside. I was very confident, but my BP only let me short 100 lol. But whatever, it made me net positive for the day. I think I got around 80 cents off it. Thank...
